Contest Brief

My company, citizen + spire (www.citizenandspire.com), is in need of a t-shirt design for our newest collection which will launch before this thanksgiving. The collection is called Lumen Civitatis (Latin for "Light of Community"). Our company current provides luxury travel and carry goods for young professionals. We are so excited to add our own apparel line starting with graphic tshirts and sweaters.

A little more about us. citizen + spire's motto and signature of "Go Forth" represents our stance of community outreach. The differentiating factor of our company is that we give a portion of each sale to inner city professional development organizations. These organizations connect those in need with resources that provides training, mentorship, and job placement.

The Lumen Civitatis line represents how coming together as a community can make a huge impact to the lives of many people.

Shirt design inspiration
As you are thinking about designs, it is important to remember, we do want to portray ourselves as a luxury brand. We shy away from tshirt designs we can make by ourselves with basic photoshop and illustrator skills. We are inspired by the tshirt designs of Stussy, Hermes, Armani & armani

First Round Design
The first round of designs of for the Lumen Civitatis line should include an artistic approach to the below individuals incorporating the color of our brand within the abstract graphic. I have attached some examples of what style we tend to move towards. We can start off with Voltaire

Individuals of interests:
1. First round: Voltaire (François-Marie Arouet)
2. Nelsen Mendela
3. Alexander the Great

Employer Feedback

    All - I want to clarify a current design limitation. If you are unable to use an image of any of the individuals I have mentioned, feel free to utilize a drawn image of a person or face and incorporate a green component to the work. We would like it to be abstract and something that really gets people to think when they look at the shirt. Also, the color code for our company's green color is 48B56E.

    Hi, it will be very difficult to perform, because of copyright, it is forbidden to use photos that are already being used on the Internet and this is severely punished here (if someone reports) You can hardly find a quality photo for free with firsts to use

      Ok, that makes sense. I am open to other ideas to. i.e drawing a roman figure, face, etc. using a green abstract form of some sort. That would be pretty cool as well.
